I'd bet this is it for him.

Most certainly, TT. I did not think he would come back this year after the beating he took in that last play-off game. Even though they most certainly would not even have been there if it were not for Favre's brilliant play last season, he took the entire blame for the loss as well. Did you ever see pictures of the bruises he had from it? OMG--they were awful! And the swelling? At his age, you just don't heal the way you do when you're in your 20s and 30s. How much pain can one man take?

LadyHawk--I doubt there will be drama after this year. I don't see him coming back for another season. I just hope he can finish this one.

I guess part of my "beef" is people saying Favre "gives everything" when he plays. To me, part of "playing" means being prepared and attending training camps and mini camps (like Reecey said). This wishy-washiness that Brett has done for the past 3 seasons is no help to his team. If he isn't careful, he could get some HORRIBLE injury that takes him out of the game (which is no help to his team) and spend his retirement in agonizing pain and/or physical therapy. After the career he has had, I'd hate to see him become the laughing stock of the NFL. But after last night's game? Wow...he's on his way. The "Grandpa" jokes are flying...
Emeritus wrote:LOL, that's easier said than done, as you well know. Some quarterbacks thrive on being rushed, because it opens up passing opportunities if you read it fast enough. Peyton is the absolute master of that. You can't throw his timing off, because he dictates the timing. That is, unless the refs slow down the game walking back to their position. No wonder he hates the new setup.

Dan Marino couldn't even play ball with his sons in between games because he hurt so much in his last years of playing. Anyone who goes as many years as Favre (and takes 16 hits like those he took in that playoff game last year) is already in a lifetime of pain...

Which is why I don't understand why he keeps coming back. Yeah, yeah...I get it. He loves to play. The longer he plays, the shorter his lifespan. What a nice legacy for his children/grandchildren.
